  1. What is EDI • EDI is the application system to application system transfer of business data from one organization to another in a structured data format. and communication formats such as: VANs, Internet, direct.

  2. Traditional Paper-Based Business

  3. Trans Global Logistics Electronic Data Interchange

  4. EDI Standard The ANSI ASC X12 Standards • The X12 standard defined a set of documents, which referred as transaction sets. • The common documents and their corresponding transaction set numbers: 850 P.O, 810 Invoice, 855 P.O. Ack., 856 Ship Notice EDIFACT Standards • A combination of the ASC X12 standards and the Trade Data Interchange (TDI) standards developed in United Kingdom and used throughout Europe.

  6. Structure of EDI Transaction • Each element including the Segment ID is separated by a character called a delimiter. • Each segment ends with a character called a segment terminator • Each transmission can be broken down into five distinct areas: • Communications Transport Protocol, Interchange Control Wrap (ISA & IEA) • Functional Group Wrap (GS & GE) • Transaction Set Wrap (ST & SE), and the body of the transaction • A transaction can also be broken down into four distinct areas: envelope, header, detail, and summary information

  7. How EDI Work 1. Preparation of electronic documents • Collection of information and data. For example HAWB, Packing List…etc. 2. Outbound translation • Translate the database into a standard format according to the specification of the corresponding document.

  8. How EDI Work 3. Communication • Connect and transmit data files to the pre-arranged VAN automatically. • Each file should be route to the appropriate e-mail boxes according to the destination set in the file. 4. Inbound translation • The trading partner retrieve the file from their e-mail boxes in a constant period. • Translating the file from the standard format into the specific format.

  10. Web EDI • Less expensive to implement • Based on ubiquitous browser technology and formats

  11. Trans Global Logistics Web EDI Example

  12. EDI Translator • EDI translators are used to interface the files received in standard format with internal applications. Translators provide for scheduling of processes, mapping, and communications. TGAX currently uses STX for DOS and GENTRAN Server for NT Gentran: Server for Windows NT • Electronic commerce solution deployable in WINS NT /2000 client/server environment • Provide a graphical user interface • Majors components include mapping utilities, partner configuration utility, data translator, message management subsystems, process control.
